In the last 24 hours, authorities in Hoi An have collaborated with electric motorcycle rental units to conduct strict reviews of the vehicle handover process. The most important note currently is that tourists must carefully check the mandatory civil liability insurance certificate included with the vehicle. Major rental companies like EVGo and VinFast Rent in the Quang Nam - Da Nang area have now integrated QR codes on the vehicle body for customers to scan and verify electronic insurance information immediately. Lacking these documents not only poses legal risks with traffic police but also affects reimbursement rights in case of collisions on the narrow streets of the ancient town.
A notable new trend is the shift to battery-swapping electric motorcycles. Selex Motors recently announced the addition of two automatic battery swapping stations near Tra Que Vegetable Village and An Bang Beach. This completely resolves the anxiety of running out of power while traveling from central Hoi An to the outskirts. Rental services are currently focusing on promoting 'unlimited energy' rental packages, allowing tourists to swap batteries in just 2 minutes instead of waiting 4-6 hours for charging as before. This is a major step forward in promoting local green tourism.
According to travel service platforms like Klook and Traveloka, electric motorcycle rental units in Hoi An are simultaneously launching their biggest discount programs of the year. Specifically, when booking an electric motorcycle at least 24 hours in advance via the app, tourists will receive a direct discount of 15-20% on the contract value. A 3-day 2-night combo rental package currently ranges from 450,000 VND to 600,000 VND depending on the vehicle type (VinFast Feliz S or Evo200). Companies like Hoi An Bike Rental are also including gift sets consisting of eco-tourism maps and discount codes at partner cafes in the ancient town for customers using green transportation.
In an effort to protect the quiet space of the heritage area, the Hoi An People's Committee has issued updated guidelines for electric motorcycle routes. Tourists should note: although electric motorcycles are encouraged due to no noise and zero emissions, they must still strictly adhere to the pedestrian street hours. In particular, high-power electric motorcycles (over 4000W) are being closely monitored for speed on Tran Hung Dao and Hai Ba Trung streets. Rental owners are now required to install GPS tracking devices to assist tourists in avoiding prohibited zones or newly adjusted one-way streets.
Meeting the convenience and safety needs of international tourists, especially groups from South Korea and Western countries, the 'contactless' rental trend is becoming popular in Hoi An. Customers only need to verify their passport or ID via the app, pay online, and the vehicle will be delivered to the hotel lobby or homestay. This process saves time and ensures price transparency. Additionally, rental services now commit to routine maintenance every 24 hours after return, including checking brake systems, tires, and disinfecting all contact points like handlebars and seats to ensure hygiene safety.
